Arane Captain Arano came to the Aggies three years ago from Watsonville High School. During his Hrst season out ttRayii easily made the squad as a pitcher and before the'end 0f the season turned some very Creditable Victories in the name of the Aggies. Throughout the 1923 season ttRayi, was the leading pitcher in the Aggie uniform. He has always been a re- markable player and throws a fastball that is hard to Iind. Besides being a pitcher of the first color, tiPlayi, is a good iielder and one of the heaviest hitters 0n the squad. At the beginning of the 1924 season he was elected 'to captain the team and has proven him- self a most dependable player and an excellent leader of his men.

San J oaqum Trlp The next week-end after the Nevada games the Aggies journeyed down into the San Joaquin Valley and scored three close wins. The first game was played on Thursday night. The Aggies met some stiff, if unexpected, competition against Modesto Jr. College, but won out, 18-17. Friday night the team traveled on down to Fresno and beat Fresno State, 24-23, and just to show that they were the best team licked the Raisin City lads again Saturday night, 25-24. gtLarry,t Erb surely had his eye during these games, netting four or five baskets each game. The last F resno game made six games in which at the final gun the score was either tied or differed by one point. The fact that the Aggies won five of these games and lost the other by one foul score tells wonders of the determination and fighting spirit of our team.

Val CALIFORNIA AGGIE VARSITY The 1924 Baseball Season Baseball, like track, is not finished as our annual goes to press; we, therefore, cannot make a complete summary of the season nor tell just how our team has prospered at the end of the season. So far this year we have not won many games, but our competition has been exceptionally brilliant and we have played against the best college teams in California. To start the season we had very few veterans back from last years squad. Captain Arano, pitcher, and ttBillii Stay, outfielder, were the only lcttermen to return. However, as soon as the season started, a number of fine prospects were out on the field and were soon built into a workable combination by Coaches Driver and Hughes. At present the team lines up about as follows: Pitchers: Captain gran? who 18 going better than ever and expects a very successful season, Bud Pgames, from last yearis squad, and ttBrownyt, Brown, a California man. '14or catchers we have Brodier, a smart player and a heavy hitter, 'W'l xx Chmueller, a new man at the job who has the makings of an ?flonw player. ilefty, OiDowda makes an ideal first baseman, being lialiaglniygligill a good man with the stick.
